Target will use the funds to repay capital and interest on an existing loan from Laurelton and the loan is repayable after one year.
Laurelton has also extended its short-term debt facility it made available to Target earlier this year.
The loan is now repayable in equal instalments in August, September and October 2009, the Sierra Leone-focused company said in a statement.
Laurelton has also been granted an option of over 3 million shares in Target at 25 pence per share, exercisable over a three-year period, Target said.
The company said mining operations and volumes are set to proceed apace, including full operations of the new up to 200 tonne-per-hour scrubber and the dredge.
Shares of the company were indicated up 5 percent at 2.75 pence at 1455 GMT. (Reporting by Balachander Surianarayanan in Bangalore; Editing by Gopakumar Warrier)
